Any bonzai enthusiast out there? Just recently bought my first
plant and I’m gonna try not to kill it.
It’s a some sort of juniper I think.
Any hints or helpful suggestions?
I’ve been meaning to try it myself, but you might want to spell it correctly. “Bonsi” are little trees; “banzai” is a battle cry.

Mr. Wilson, I just picked up this hobby as well. I bought a juniper, the “nana” variety that was recommended as a good plant for beginners (hard to kill) and pruned the hell out of it last week to try to get an idea of what direction I want to take. Now I’m waiting to see if it will survive. Check out these websites, lot’s of good info, pictures, forums, links, etc.:

Good luck! I have found that the hardest part is remembering that it may take 10 years to get your tree to really be a bonsai.

And here I was worried about spelling enthusiast.
You’d think as much as I’ve researched to this I could at least spell it right.
Oh well, at least I know the proper pronunciation.
Thanks for the websites doyle, one of them I haven’t seen before
I’m just starting my self. I bought one already pruned that is a pain to take care of, but I have another Juniper that i am going to prune myself. I just need to re-pot it before it dies on me!:rolleyes:
